WATER-REPELLENT MEMBER, INKJET HEAD, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING WATER-REPELLENT MEMBER, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING INKJET HEAD
A water-repellent member includes a base layer formed on the substrate, projections dispersedly arranged on the base layer, a first water-repellent material provided on the base layer in contact with the base layer, and a second water-repellent material provided on the projections in contact with the projections. The first water-repellent material and the second water-repellent material are perfluoropolyether compounds. An oxygen concentration of the base layer is lower than an oxygen concentration of the projections.
Printhead Control Circuit And Liquid Ejecting Apparatus
In a printhead control circuit causing a printhead to execute printing, the printhead performing abnormality detection in response to a first signal inputted to a second terminal in a state in which the potential of a first terminal is a first potential and a second signal inputted to the second terminal in a state in which the potential of the first terminal is a second potential, one of the first and second potentials is higher than the potentials of the first and second signals, and a signal circuit is configured to output the first and second signals. The signal circuit outputs the first signal to the second wire electrically coupled to the second terminal in a state in which the first wire is being supplied with a first voltage signal at the first potential and outputs the second signal to the second wire after outputting the first signal in a state in which the first wire is being supplied with a second voltage signal at the second potential, which is different from the first potential, to cause the printhead to execute the abnormality detection in response to the first signal, the second signal, the first voltage signal, and the second voltage signal.
Head chip, liquid jet head, liquid jet recording device, and method of manufacturing head chip
The head chip includes an actuator plate having ejection channels and non-ejection channels extending in a Y direction and arranged alternately in an X direction, an intermediate plate overlapped with the actuator plate in a Z direction, and provided with communication holes communicated with the ejection channels and through holes communicated with the non-ejection channels, and a nozzle plate overlapped with the intermediate plate in the Z direction in a state of closing the through holes, and provided with nozzle holes which are communicated with the communication holes, jet liquid contained in the ejection channels, and are formed at positions corresponding to the ejection channels. The non-ejection channels are communicated with an outside of the head chip. The through holes are each disposed at an inner side in the X direction of the inner surfaces extending in the Y direction of the non-ejection channel viewed from the Z direction.
INK-JET TREATMENT LIQUID, INK-JET TEXTILE PRINTING APPARATUS, AND INK-JET TEXTILE PRINTING METHOD
A printed textile includes a base textile and a layer. The base textile includes first and second surfaces. The first surface includes a first area and a second area. The layer is located on the first surface, and contains pigment particles. A first loop height is defined as a largest height of the printed textile when the printed textile is folded with a crease at the first area. A second loop height is defined as a largest height of the printed textile when the printed textile is folded with a crease at the second area. The second loop height is no more than 1.3 times as large as the first loop height.
Laser-based droplet array jetting of high viscous materials
Laser jetting of droplets of a viscous material, such as an ink, is performed by coating a layer of ink on a mesh-like transport screen, with the ink being retained within spaces of the mesh-like transport screen. The ink-coated mesh-like transport screen is conveyed to a working area and a laser beam is used to heat the ink within the spaces of the mesh-like transport screen, thereby causing ink droplets to be jetted from the spaces of the mesh-like transport screen. Structures are formed on a receiving substrate arranged near the working area by jetting the ink droplets, either in an aggregation or sequentially, across a gap from the mesh-like transport screen to the receiving substrate and displacing the mesh-like transport screen and the laser beam relative to one another at times between the jetting of the droplets, or by directly printing ink droplets onto the receiving substrate.
